The City of Kerrville's Street Paving Program is guided by a Pavement Master Plan adopted in 2015, aiming to maintain and enhance the city's 321 lane miles of roadways. This plan utilizes data-driven assessments, including Pavement Condition Index (PCI) scores, to determine appropriate maintenance strategies such as slurry seal, crack sealing, mill and overlay, and full-depth reconstruction.

A key component of this program is the Mill and Overlay process, which involves removing the top layer of deteriorated asphalt (milling) and applying a new overlay to restore the road's surface. In 2023, city crews completed 9.52 lane miles of mill and overlay and full-depth reconstruction, surpassing the previous year's performance. This method is particularly effective for addressing surface-level issues while preserving the underlying road structure.
To enhance efficiency and planning, Kerrville implemented new software in 2024 for data collection, GIS integration, and capital forecasting related to pavement maintenance. Additionally, the city acquired critical equipment, including a new paver and compact roller, through its replacement program to support these efforts. The Street Division's commitment to quality has been recognized with top honors from paving associations for projects like Rawson Street.
